I see that a lot of people complain about reddit, twitter, and whatever mainstream website completely fuck the consumer, but fail to realize one crucial thing. The only time change happens in mob settings is when the pain of no change is greater than the pain of change. I applaud Elon, spez, and who ever else wishes to put there services behind their paywall whether it’s an API or just simply viewing tweets. Anyone in the know knows that it’s a crock of shit and anyone who isn’t is annoyed to the point where change is preferable. The sooner people figure out posting information, entertainment, and other forms of media/knowledge to the benefit of a company is horrendous the better. Now we have the opportunity to get rid of the corporate greed and basically open-source peoples knowledge from around the globe. Although like with reddit, mob mentality poses a real threat to communities like this one, I trust that you all are normal and level headed individuals who can come to disagreements but still respect eachother (as corny as that sounds). I much prefer it over giving more information to companies who use it to profit off of my content, while I receive nothing.
*Edit: Thank you kind stranger for the reddit gold! Glad you spent real hard cash so I can have reddit premium and reddit coins! The lovely people at reddit will be spending your money sitting on a yacht eating grapes in one hand and lobster in the other. I’m sure they are real thankful too! :) *
Idk what the internet’s obsession is with this being obnoxiously introverted stuff. Go out and do stuff with people and be around your friends. Just sitting at home doing nothing isn’t something to be proud of.
see that’s the thing, the limit isn’t on tweets u post, it’s on tweets u view, scrolling through ur timeline can hit the limit in seconds, remember everything on twitter is a post, including replies
Mmmmm remember that time Elon offered 1m dogecoin to whoever could prove he owned an emerald mine? And then his dad was all like “can I play too I have the paperwork here!”. Elon tries not to.
